55,965 people working on state salary

Reviewing the submission and draft resolution approving the total number of employees receiving salaries from the budget, contract workers in public service units and association organizations in 2021; members attending the meeting also raised some concerns in the context of the requirement to streamline the payroll, but for the education and health sectors, the total payroll is large, but the payroll assigned in 2021 is equivalent to that of 2020. Among them, there are some units with increased payroll, especially Vinh city education.

Some opinions also pointed out the inadequacy of the staffing in some areas being much lower than the regulations. Especially drug rehabilitation facilities have a "tense" workload, performing both management tasks, drug rehabilitation and treatment of psychosis caused by drug addicts using synthetic drugs, and HIV treatment, but the number of staff assigned to the facilities is low.

Some members also suggested that the Department of Home Affairs should guide departments and branches to review the payroll within the branch to make appropriate reductions. For example, in the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the number of meritorious people is decreasing, but the number of people working in the meritorious people sector has not decreased.

At the meeting, Director of the Department of Home Affairs Le Dinh Ly received the opinions of the meeting participants and explained a number of issues. Regarding the education sector's staffing, in the 2020-2021 school year, the province increased 215 classes with 22,474 students and the need to increase 176 teachers.

On the other hand, for Vinh city education, previously only implemented the norm of 1.2 teachers/class, but in the 2020-2021 school year, the city proposed to assign a quota of 1.4 teachers/class according to the province's average, so it should increase by 145 teachers.

Thus, the total number of teachers that need to be increased in the Education sector is 505; however, due to the requirement to streamline 10% of the total staff of the whole province, it is proposed to keep the staff of the Education sector in 2021 the same as in 2020 to self-adjust the staff between education levels.

Similar to the health sector, due to the streamlining of the 2015-2020 period, it is proposed that the staffing in 2021 remain the same as in 2020 to avoid pressure on medical facilities; however, within the sector, appropriate adjustments will be made to match reality, increasing the staffing of the treatment system and reducing the reserve system.

The total number of people working on budget salaries in public service units that have not yet covered their regular expenses in the province in 2021 is 55,872 people; the total number of people working in association organizations in 2021 is 93.

There needs to be a mechanism to deal with officials and civil servants who do not meet requirements.

Also this morning, the Provincial People's Council's Legal Committee reviewed the draft resolution on support policies for redundant commune, ward and town officials and civil servants due to the implementation of Resolution No. 34/2019/ND-CP dated April 24, 2019 of the Government and redundant deputy police chiefs and permanent police officers in communes and towns due to the arrangement of regular police officers to communes and towns; draft resolution on a number of expenditure contents and expenditure levels for victim support work, support regime for victims of human trafficking crimes in the province; report on the province's administrative reform work in the first 6 months of the year, key tasks in the last 6 months of 2020.
